The car started making a howling/metallic noise after a hard run about halfway through the road. Now mind you I was HARD on it in 2nd and 3rd gear, twisty as all hell roads requiring every ounce of stability to keep the car planted. The noise sounded most similarly to the noise old brakes make, but the pitch would get higher the more I romped on it. I verified it wasn't a brake thing, I had zero issues with the PP brakes even after all those runs. I'm thinking either diff or carrier bearing because it was load relative as well as heat relative. It only did it when I was going hard and it only made the noise under load. I'm quite perplexed actually and I don't think I can reproduce those conditions anywhere near me.
EDIT: I just got the car back after taking it to the dealer with these issues. They said nothing is wrong, fluid is within acceptable levels. I also complained of the PP "thud" and a vibration above 50mph. The thud was deemed "unable to reproduce" even though I did it easily just within the parking lot and the vibration was deemed as being caused by the Ford Racing exhaust even though it vibrates with the clutch pushed in and engine at idle while going 50+. Needless to say I've put in a complaint through Ford Customer Service and am awaiting a call from the regional manager. Service advisor changed his tone when I picked up the car, I think his boss is none too happy with me involving Ford.
